A vignette-based study assessed the influence of social class attributions toward a hypothetical client's difficulty.
188 licensed mental health professionals who were recruited through professional listservs completed an online survey after reviewing one of two versions of a vignette describing a hypothetical client that varied based on social class cues.
As expected, this sample of licensed mental health practitioners detected social class differences based on the descriptors of the hypothetical client across the two vignettes. These perceived social class differences, however, did not impact participants' attributions toward the client for causing or solving her problems, level of Global Assessment of Functioning score ascribed to the client, or willingness to work with the client.
There was no evidence that participants differentially ascribed attributions based on social class. Implications and directions for future research are provided.
一项基于情景的研究评估了对假设客户困难的社会阶层归因的影响。
通过专业名录列表招募了 188 名持照心理健康专业人员，他们在查看了描述假设客户的两个情景版本之一后，完成了一项在线调查，该情景版本基于社会阶层线索而有所不同。
正如预期的那样，这个由持照心理健康从业者组成的样本根据两个情景中假设客户的描述检测到了社会阶层差异。然而，这些感知到的社会阶层差异并没有影响参与者对客户造成或解决问题的归因、对客户的全球功能评估分数、或与客户合作的意愿。
没有证据表明参与者根据社会阶层差异做出不同的归因。提供了对未来研究的影响和方向。
